    I’ve had this Apple TV for a while now and I will say it is the BEST streaming product. Whether it’s Fire TV, Roku, it beats all of them! It has a sleek interface and is very organized and I’ve experienced no lag with any platforms or shows that I watch. It’s a must buy and it will last you for a long time

    Expensive but worth it

    There are tons of streaming boxes, but with the Apple TV, it is absolutely so quick by just telling Siri which streaming service you want and immediately goes to it. It gets even better if you have Apple products like the AirPods and an iPhone. With AirPods, it allows you to connect so easily and displays its Dolby audio feature. With iPhone and traveling if you wanna take it on the go, you are able to cast whatever you want since it has airplay. With other products you can’t really do that because the actual device has to connect to Wi-Fi by signing in and if you have iPhone, it automatically shares Wi-Fi directly to the Apple TV 4k. If you have the budget, I would absolutely recommend.

    A subtle update to the 2021 version.

    I bought this to compare to my base model 2021 apple tv 4k 32g 2nd gen device running the A12 bionic chip. All i have read is that if one owns the 2nd gen, getting the 3rd gen isn’t really worth it. Well, this one runs the A15 bionic chip and i must say it is quit snappy, not that the 2nd gen was slow as such. I don’t game so our use is streaming apps and plex. I see no judder or other video hickups at all. With the discovery+ app i would see a reduction in streaming quality frequently with my 2nd gen (i have a gig ISP) which i have yet to see on this 3rd gen. Even my wife commented on this which is huge. Is the video quality better compared to the 2021 2nd gen overall? I tend to think so and my wife agrees but it is very subtle. If one has the 2021 model and not having any issues nor video quality issues, this 3rd gen may not be worth it to you. I have family that wants my older version so it was easy to upgrade. We are satisfied. Reason i bought this one over the 64g version is support for thread networking and an ethernet port.

    Best Streaming Device PERIOD

    This is THE BEST streaming device I have ever owned and I am NOT a big Apple guy! I have Samsung phones and a Mac laptop. It is super fast, streams perfectly in HD or Atmos and the sound is terrific. I only bought it becauae my Roku Ultra suddenly stopped Streaming Apple TV app and I couldn't log back in until just last week. I love being able to keep different Apps open and can quickly navigate to other shows across several apps. I love the "what did they say?" feature and Appple TV will rewind 20 seconds and momentarily turn on closed captioning. $50 more than the Roku Ultra but worth it! With its advanced processor I expect it to last a long time, but with Apple's dreaded built in experation flaws (like dying batteries on our ipad) you never know!

    I was struggling with the speed on my Smart TV apps and the time/quality to run programs I wanted to watch. My friend turned me on to Apple TV due to its efficient user interface and the speed to quickly watch my programs. I am blown away on how it has transformed my older 4K tv, extending its life to get the best of all worlds. I highly recommend this product.

    The Apple TV 4K (3rd Gen) delivers excellent performance with its A15 Bionic chip, ensuring smooth streaming and vibrant 4K HDR visuals (I do notice better video quality on my TV). The updated Siri remote is user-friendly, and integration with Apple services like TV+, Music, and Fitness+ enhances the experience. The main reason I chose it over other streaming devices is because of FaceTime integration using iPhone’s Continuity Camera. I got a mount from Amazon and it’s fun to FaceTime on TV.

    Apple TV 128GB w/Ethernet Connection

    Love it. I'm not saying the Roku Ultra wouldn't have been a fine alternative, as I haven't used one. But I am saying this device is a gem. I was a bit nervous about the rather minimalist remote for this unit, vs. the more conventional setup on the Roku. But I had faith that the designers at Apple would not release a product with a poorly conceptualized remote. They, essentially, didn't disappoint. The touch pad is mostly user friendly. Yes, it sometimes is a bit imprecise, but that becomes quite tolerable with familiarity. Note that, to an unaccustomed hand, it could seem all over the place. I actually called Apple thinking my remote was defective on day 2, because it seemed to be jumping all over the place. While on the phone, I realized that it was the touch pad reacting to my finger being on it - ever so slightly - that was making it jump. After more days of using it, this previously annoying behavior became fun to work with. I use the device along with a Hulu Live subscription and it plays well with their product. I had previously used a Chromecast Ultra for streaming, but found it severely lacking in terms of the control it offered when using streaming services like Fubo, YouTubeTv (awful, IMHO) and Hulu. The Apple device completely changed my experience of streaming. I can't imagine why anyone would not spend the extra $20 to get the Ethernet capable device vs. its non-ethernet capable cousin. While a good WiFi connection will render the distinction moot for most, it is still likely to not be as reliable as a direct ethernet connection. And for $20 over what should be years of use, I can't see the logic. While it seemed stingy to me initially that Apple didn't include a charging cord in the package, when I realized it could be charged with any phone charger sporting a USB C terminal, my annoyance disappeared. Worth mentioning, using the Siri based voice commands to fast forward or replay is absolutely wonderful. If you watch programs in which you know well the typical breakdown of ad times, you can simply invoke Siri, say, "advance 'x' minutes" and presto, you are there. I almost feel guilty about how easy it is to skip obnoxious commercials using this capability. Worth noting, if you are not a fan of using the voice capability to navigate, there are 4 speeds of advance/reverse easily accessed via the remote. It may take a few attempts to get the feel of how it works, but once you do, it is pretty terrific. One of my few complaints - and it is a minor one - is that Apple seems to have not seen fit to allow the user to configure the jump forward/revert back interval. I typically had set my cable remotes to jump 30 seconds and revert by 10; Apple's quick clicks only go forward or back by 10 seconds. Not my preference, but not a deal breaker. Installation was a breeze. As far as charging the remote, Apple's instruction suggest it might only be needed about 2x/year. So far, 1 month in, no sign that it is anywhere near needed yet. BTW - the 3 month trial of Apple TV that came with the purchase is a great extra for those who, like myself, hadn't yet experienced their lineup of shows. No doubt there are some cheaper alternatives to Apple TV. But I doubt anyone who is comfortable laying out the initial investment will be unhappy that they did so.

    Best High Quality Video Streamer

    These generate the best 4K video among all my options including the TV’s built-in apps. They also run pretty much all apps I can think of for watching and I find the UI is clean. That’s the good. However, AppleTVs are a bit pricey and Apple has obsoleted prior versions which always has me a little hesitant. For my “home theater” settings with higher end TVs, I use AppleTVs. For the rest, I use FireTV sticks or a TV’s built-in apps.

    In comparison to a cheap Android streaming device, this Apple TV device seems more stable and feels faster. I like the fact that the home page is very simple without any ads. You have to get used to the track pad at first. I ended up disabling it in the settings because my family members were annoyed with it. The remote feels cold due to its metal frame but works well. Overall, I'm quite pleased with this device.

    Quick, sleek and minimal ads on the home screen. Helps the TV focus on giving the best picture while it handles all the little things. Would definitely recommend this over the built in smart systems as they are getting more and more congested with ads, which causes the overall system to feel sluggish.

    I don’t know a different streaming device could make my TVs picture quality look so much better. Not just for apple shows, but for everything. Of course it connects to my HomePod so sound is better than normal tv speakers and the remote is way beyond any streaming stick remote I’ve used. I was really on the fence about paying this much for a streaming box, but I have no regrets.

    If you’re in the Apple ecosystem I can’t suggest this enough. Smart TVs come with their own software but these are mini computers - fast, decent picture quality, and the ease of using AirPods to watch movies without waking up the house is a plus.

    If you're like me, you absolutely hate most televisions' onboard operating systems and user interfaces. This is the main reason to get an AppleTV. This little box has many amazing features. But the most important one is that it just plain works. And works quickly. Plus the Siri feature on here is 10x what it is on any other Apple product. I highly recommend watching videos on the features. It might seem like a superfluous purchase but, trust me, it's not.

    This is a great little streaming box. PQ is great! It's super easy to use. And the remote is awesome! The device does not have a volume adjuster. It relies on your TV volume which is excellent! And you can program the apple tv to then control the volume of the TV. If you turn on HDMI CEC. What that means practically is you never have to touch your TV remote again! Truly convenient.
